Ambrose Coffee - Mention In Boone by Cameron Judd

"Meanwhile, Ambrose Coffee had just undergone an experience he would
thereafter remember as a miracle. He had been lying atop a wall of the
unroofed blockhouse, watching the negotiations, when the fight suddenly
broke out. He was a fine target for hidden Indian marksmen, and came
tumbling down suddenly into the blockhouse, his clothing shredded by
bullets. Springing up, he looked about for the expected gushes of blood
and found none. Not a single ball had struck him, every one of them
merely cutting his clothes and breezing right past his skin."
